The Unreal games engine is a hugely versatile system that has been used to power a variety of best-selling video games. In The Unreal Game Engine, environment artist Andrew Finch looks at how to create game levels from scratch using the free Unreal Development Kit, starting with modeling the environment. He then addresses the two different ways in which you can create accessories for your scene modeling in 3ds Max and importing them, or creating them directly in UDK before adding textures and lighting. If youve ever wondered what it would be like to be a level designer and wanted some practical experience, then look no further than The Unreal Game Engine.

The book is not a Unreal bible type book more of a general games environment development process which happens to use Unreal3.
Hope that helps!
The book is titled 'The Unreal Game Engine', then I'm expecting a book about the Unreal Engine in general, likely with a technical orientation as it's the engine and not the tools.
If your subject matter is game environment design and uses UDK, then you'd call it something like 'Environment Design in Unreal Engine 3'.
The full title as depicted on the cover is 'The Unreal Game Engine: A Comprehensive Guide to Creating Playable Levels'. We thought this title best summed up the book, but of course understand that not everyone will agree.
